A MYSTERY SOLVED,
PinEerton Says the R0cE Island Robbery
and Murder WI be Cleared.

Chicago dispatch: Pinkerton is about to
duplicate his success. He has caught and
sentenced the robbers of the Missouri ex-
press. and now has, it is believed, the au-
thors OF the Rock Island crime in which
kellogg Nichols, the messenger, was muir.
dered. The velvet-footed men lave acted
with extraordinary circumspection and
Mr.. Schwartz Of Philadelphia, has told
about all he knows. Pinkerton has all his
money; that is, all he received from the
robbery, with the exception OF $4,000.
The statement that "Bill" Gallagher,
Schwartz's cellmate, gave up anything OF
Importance, or in fact anything at all, is
pronounced by Pinkerton as a diabolicaI
canard. 1t is a long story, but as usual,
murder will out. Continued pumping by
Pinkerton has resulted in the squealing OF
Schwartz. Heis chicken hearted and lacks
gall" and when pressed told all he knew,
so it is said. He, with others, planned the
robbery. The murder fell to a third man
who is unknown to anyone but Billy Pin
kerton. and the murderer is not in a posi-
ton to be reached. at least tonight. His
colleagues tool two men out of Hankin's
gambling den at u late hour tonight, but
that they are wanted for is vain to conjec-
ture. Schwartz is as good as sailed. Will
liam Pinkerton told a Republican reporter
at an early hour this morning that the
Rock Islano express robbery and the MUIR
der OF Messenger Nichols would be cleared
up within iorty eight hours.

for r. H. White & Co., left Boston for Mon
treal on December "a, 1886, carrying

was traced by al agent OF Wiggin & Wood,
OF thisc city. This agent told Spear he was
selling American cigars smuggled to Canada,
and wanted a partner during the carnival
week. They ran a booth near the tobog-
gan slide. Then Spear was told that in
order to get any more cigars he must see
the boss smuggler," who did not dare to
enter Canada for fear OF arrest. The ex-
clerk fell into the trap, and accompanied
the detective ON a sleigh ride. He was
taken across the line to st. Adams, Vt.
Spear and the agent were sitting down to
dinner at a hotel when Detective Wood en-
tered. Here is my boss" said the detec-
tive as Wood entered the room. II am
glad to see you" said Wood. II am not
glad to see you" said Spear, recognizing
him at once, and sinking back much over
come into the chair IRON which he had just
risen. Finding himself thus safely caught,
Spear made no resistance, and agreed to
come to Boston without the governors re-
QUESTION. He was arraigned before the
municipal court yesterday, and pleaded
guilty to the charge OF embezzlement.

Il VERDICT FOR BUrIER.
Tie Lester Smn Decided in Fdror of Benja-
min.

New York dispatch: Judge Coke, at the
close OF the arguments in the case OF Lester
against Benjamin +. Butler, which has been
on trial for several days, said:
Before / direct the jury to find a verdict
in favor OF the defendant, it will be neces-
sary to review the facts in the case and
consider the time when these acts took
place. No one who has listened to the tes-
tImony car doubt for a moment that Les
ter was helping the confederacy. 1t will be
seen that the plaintiff was a slave owner:
that he was engaged in the manufacture Of
arms for the confederacy; that when he was
arrested, he had in his possession a con-
tract to purchase n fast vessel to run q
blockade; that, when Mrs. Lester was
searched, drafts were found in her posses
sion on the people in Canada who were con-
nected with the confederacy; that Lester
had taken several oaths of allegi-
ance before he crossed the line, and
that he was connected with blockade run
ne s. All these facts were considered by
the military commission which was q le-
gaily constituted body. The defendant
was a major general in command of the de-
partment OF Virginia, and according to the
military code was bound to obey the COM
mands OF his superiors. He received or
ders from the secretary of war to examine
and arrest the plaintiff and if he had dis
obeyed these orders he would have been
punished. The act of May 16, 1864, ex-
empts the defendants from prosecution for
damages. AS the commission was legally
CONSTITUTED its judgments are not to be
questioned. / can see no defect i'm the or
ganization of our court, and it is entirely
clear that this defendant cannot be held
responsible for these acts. and | { direct you
to find a verdict in favor Of the defendant.
The jury brought in q verdict as the
court directed, and Testers counsel made
a motion for a stay OF proceedings for
thirty days, which was granted.
